the rail was open that day , isn't the rail the shortest way home ?, your inside , your saving ground your not going wide

When Smith made his decision the inside wasn't open yet.

his decision was made before the race started , he knew he had to be wide , it was the best part of the track to be that day (and most days ) , he went wide and won , ramon tucked inside and lost

take the same 2 horses and give them the different rides and you have a different winner

Marty, she is 14 for 14 and do you know how many times she has came up the rail to win. ZERO!. It had nothing to do with the track.

Watch and see.

Clearly this is missed by Marty. Trying to bring that beast through the inside's like parking your 18 wheeler in the Compact Car space.

Now granted I don't watch the majority of races, or even 25% of them at Golden Gate...but it does seem to me that it's a track for closers on the outside.

I kinda agree with Gales. Ramon Dominguez has toyed with a crappy Jockey colonies in AQU and has loaded up his share of MCL, Claimers and ALW. In order to be in the elite class, he needs to develop a cold-blooded menatlity on those big days of racing. As of now he hasnt shown it.

Yes he won the Saratoga title last year but 4 jockeys had more stakes wins than he did that meet.

Yes he won all NYRA jockey titles but many of the big jocks were not around as they spend thier time going to Keeneland, Gulfstream, Churchill riding there regularly and getting mounts on graded stakes races. Also, none of those get or choose to ride the quantity of mounts that Ramon gets.
